Ikea Faktum pot hinges drilling, which grid?

Hello everyone,

I am currently building a Faktum kitchen with Abstrakt fronts. I am not unskilled in craftsmanship and everything is going well. With a bit of good tools and some skills, you can basically manage everything with these kitchens.

For example, I installed all Siemens appliances even though their dimensions are not really supported by Ikea. Also, stacking 3 appliances in the tall cabinet (oven, coffee machine, and microwave) is not a problem.

However, now I have to shorten the last two doors at the top for 2 tall cabinets. Fresh edge bands on, done. For that, I also need to drill new holes for the hinges, and that’s exactly what my question is about :).

What is the drilling pattern for the Faktum cabinets? Because the holes for the hinge plate in the carcass are there. That means the holes for the hinges in the fronts must also have this pattern, does anyone know it?

Hello, the cabinets have the hole pattern in the standard System 32 with an edge-hole distance of 28 mm.

P.S. Hettich offers an affordable center punch (MultiBlue) that is helpful for such tasks.

Great, thank you very much, that already helps me a lot. And thanks for the tip with the template, if you know the name you can also find the video from Hettich about it:
